Reviews of Brookdale Arlington | Independent Living

I visited this facility

I visited Brookdale Arlington. The food was excellent. The people were very friendly and cordial, and answered my questions and showed me different sizes of apartments. It was very nice. The efficiency type was not available at that time, though, but I did see one that had someone staying in it, and it was very nice. All of the quarters were very well-organized and clean.

I loved Brookdale Arlington. The apartment that I saw was very nice. It was more expensive than what I was looking for at that time.The staff showed me around and I really liked the whole property. The dining room was quite far from the apartment that is available for my mom. Although they told me that if we are ready to move in, there might be an apartment available that is nearer the dining area. But honestly, I loved the property. I like that fact that they knew their residents.They were very good with their security for their patients and for those coming to visit them.

I visited Brookdale Arlington six months ago. They toured me around the whole facility and gave me lunch. They let me eat with some of the people who live there. The food was very good. They took me to some of the residents' rooms, and I talked to the people living there. They were more than happy to let me in and show me how their apartments looked. They were all very happy with their rooms which were one- and two-bedroom units. The staff regularly send me emails to let me know what they were doing, like for Halloween, they're having a party and invited me to come visit. They are very cordial. They have a van to take the residents shopping, to movies, or to go different places.

I went to Brookdale Arlington, and I liked it. The staff was wonderful. I want to live there. That's how nice it was. They showed me quite a few different options of their rooms. The residents seemed very active, very healthy, and very friendly. On my second visit, my sister and I were in the hall, and we were talking to the person who gave us the tour about the life alert kind of pendant they wear. There was this lady -- who was just walking by -- that stayed there, talked to us for 20 minutes about it, and explained everything; she was just really nice.

The only one that I went and looked at was Brookdale Arlington, and it was a very nice place. I was really impressed with it, and the cost was prohibitive, but we were going to try to see if we could manage it, and then my husband refused to do it. It was very clean and very nice, and they had a great buffet. It was in a very nice area, and I even put money down.

Brookdale Arlington was really nice and clean. The rooms were nice and well arranged. They have three different types of rooms -- studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom. The dining room was really nice. The people are very polite and very informative. They have bingo, cards, and field trips. It seemed like it was really nice. They do have scheduled transportation.

Town Village seemed really had a lot to offer. They seemed to have activities for all of the residents and it look like they took them out to places as well. Everybody there was very nice and the facility looked nice. It also looked like the residents were having a good time because they were having a lunch and they were all laughing and talking. I really didn’t know the staff on how well they were, but it seemed like a nice place. I saw two rooms, but they were kind of blunt. They didn’t really have a lot of colors to the rooms. I was a little bit disappointed in the apartments that they had.

Town Village was very friendly. They work with you. They explained everything in detail. They showed us each place, what they had available, and they showed every part of the facility, like the dining room. They have a little store. They explained everything that they would have. The rooms are very nice. It's small, but you have your nice-sized kitchen, depending on which one you pick.

I know that they have a lot of activities. They had a craft room that we went in, and they had a regular board game room. They have different kinds of senior exercises that they do there. Everybody seemed very happy and content with being there. They had a couple of residents who were 100 years old. They seem to be able to manage and get around in there.

My aunt has been at Town Village for about two weeks now. The staff are very attentive to her needs. Overall, the facility is very nice. They have people come in periodically for entertainment, and I know they do have a lot of things going on.

My mother had been a resident for 2 years. It took six broken ribs to get her to leave her house, but the care she has received at Town Village has allowed her to be as happy as it is possible to be for someone at her stage in life. She has been a regular recipient of physical and occupational therapy provided by Innovative Care on site at Town Village. Her therapists are her friends and care deeply about her. She has managed, with their help, to stave off many of the potential deleterious effects of a small but significant stroke she suffered in 2009. In addition, the friends and activities she has found there have provided much comfort and support as she enters her second year of widowhood. Town Village has been a wonderful environment for her and her family will be eternally grateful for it.

My best friends grandmother happens to have just recently moved to this facility and while having a very close relationship with her family, I go to visit her often because I live in the city of Arlington, while Anna, my best friend, lives in Arkansas.Upon arrival at Town Village Arlington, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful landscaping and presentation of the facility. It made me feel at ease that Anna's grandma, Deedra, was living there. I planned on having lunch with her so of course, eating at a retirement home, I was hesitant about eating the food. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by how wonderful all of the food tasted. It tasted like one of my grandma's homecooked meals. We had many options to choose from all of which were delightful. The staff was excellent in making sure we were all well taken care of. Following lunch, resident's had the option of staying for the Texas Ranger's Baseball watching party or going and doing the afternoon activity. Grandma Deedra and I, however, decided to go back to her room and visit with each other instead. Her room was gorgeous and the facility allowed residents to really make each room feel like home. My visits have been wonderful each and every time and I visit her every week. I'm very pleased with Town Village Arlington and am truly thankful that Grandma Deedra has chosen to put her faith and trust of living into their magnificant facility.
